The concierge, named only as Abdulrahman, also said that the security code at the door of the Hôtel de Pourtalès, a discreet private residence favoured by US stars visiting the French capital, had not been changed in years and that “everyone knew it.”

The 39-year-old was on duty when the reality TV star was tied up, gagged and robbed at about 2.30am on October 3 at the residence situated near the Elysée palace and the British embassy.

“There was no real security at all. It’s a choice. The hotel doesn’t mind about security,” he told MailOnline. “We told them years and years before, you have to (install) a camera, you have to put (in place) a security process, about keys. Nothing was locked, there was no proper security there,” he said.

A news websitesaid that the security code for the main door of the residence had still not been changed two weeks after the robbery.

Abdulrahman said he was handcuffed and led to Ms Kardashian’s apartment at gunpoint and was forced to act as an interpreter during the 30 minutes the robbers, who remain at large, were in the building.

MailOnline said it had seen an email sent by the concierge to his bosses in 2010 warning of the dangers of the lax security at the establishment.

He also told the website that Kardashian’s apartment was accessed by a wooden door with a single Yale-type lock, with no bolt to guard against intruders.
